Subject: Summary: Sao Tome Creole
Some weeks ago, I posted the following query:
Is there any information about work done on S.Tome creole?
I am writing this message on behalf of a friend but I will post a
summary of the answers to the list.
Thanks to all who answered:

Dear Ana Lucia,
I don't know of very many recent things on Sao Tome, but there is some
excellent work from the last 30 years or so:
1) Studies in Portuguese and Creole/Marius F. Valkhoff
2) Miscelanea Luso-Africana/edited by Valkhoff
3) The creole of Sao Tome/Luis Ivens Ferraz
I hope this helps.
Best wishes,
Michael Aceto

The following has done linguistic fieldwork on Sao Tome and can give you
good information: Gerardo Lorenzino <lorenz at minerva.cis.yale.edu>.

Ana Lucia Santos,
John Holm in his Pidgins and Creoles (Cambridge UP, 1988-89), vol. 2 pp.
278-280, mentions Sao Tome creole. He makes reference to the following book:
L Ivens Ferraz. The Creole of Sao Tome. Witwatersrand University Press,
Johannesburg, 1979.

I will be happy to send you a bibliography on the language and
history of Sao Tome Creole. It's part of the bibliography I compiled for
my dissertation on Angolar Creole Portuguese, one of the three creole
dialects spoken on Sao Tome and Principe. I can't send it to you via
email because it will arrive garbled and difficult to read. If you are
interested let me know and send me your address.
As a preview, tell your friend that the standard reference on Sao
Tome Creole is Ferraz (1979) "The Creole of Sao Tome".
Cheers

You could also advice your friend to address his/her query to
CreoLIST, which is a discussion on list specifically devoted to
pidgins and creoles. To join the list, send the command "%SUBSCRIBE"
in the _subject field_ (important!) of an otherwise empty message to
<CreoLIST at ling.su.se>.
Best,
Mikael Parkvall

You'd be better posting this question to the CREOLIST list:
creolist at ling.su.se
with a request to let you know the answer as you're not a member of that list.
